This is one of my all time favourites it smells delicious & i always get comments of people asking what it is and telling me how lovely i smell!

Hugo Deep Red is for the independent, modern, sexy woman. For a woman who is having more fun, who is more in control and who chooses what works for her.


The Notes for this perfume are

Ginger leaves, freesia and hibiscus

Blackcurrant, pear, tangerine and blood orange

Sandalwood, Californian cedar, vanilla and musk

It is a super sexy scent, perfect for a date night....

NYX Runway Collection - Champagne & Caviar

 The colours in this palette are timeless and elegant. This palette contains a nice array of soft neutrals for fair-skinned cool-neutral toned ladies like myself. I find that I reach for this great palette very often for a lovely/wearable daytime look!


This palette provides all the shades you need for a totally classic and elegant look that can easily go from day to night!



These shadows are soft, about "medium" pigmentation (the effect here is soft and subtle), and blend-able, but a little bit powdery. But, I'm not complaining as they apply so easily! I think this would be a great palette for beginners because of the ease of blending with these shades. Also a great palette for anyone who loves neutrals or needs an "easy" daytime look.





A fab little palette with a great mix of Creams, Taupe's, Browns in Matte & Shimmery shades.


Are you more of a natural or a colour girl?

Marc Jacobs Lola EDP

I really like this perfume, but think it suits this time of the year better as it's a lovely warm not too sweet scent.

It's described as a modern free spirit with an irresistible attitude. Relax, cool and confident. Sexy with a flirtatious wink.


The bottle is so pretty & would look lovely on any dressing table.
I'm not to good when it comes to describing smells but here are the Notes.

Rose, Fuchsia, Peony, Geranium

Pink Peppercorn, Pear, Ruby Red Grapefruit
Vanilla, Warm Tonka Bean, Creamy Musk.
I noticed lately that a lot of my fragrances has pink peppercorn in them, not sure if it gives the perfumes a distinctive scent?

Available from any department store starting at £36.50 - but i found my latest bottle on Ebay brand new for £29.00 so pretty happy about that!

Do you have a signature scent?

NYX - I Dream Of Nevis

I Dream of Nevis is a beautiful neutral palette. I am loving the matte vanilla, shimmery taupe, and the deep brown. The beautiful shades transfer quite nicely onto skin - pigmented and smooth, but with a little fall out.
 




 
First shade: It is a matte vanilla colour, it is very smooth and very pigmented, it is perfect to use as an all-over lid colour as well as a highlight shade.


Second shade: A matte skin-tone with a bit of a greyish undertone to it, it is amazingly pigmented, you could use it as a lid colour or a crease colour too.


Third shade: A frosted taupe colour with flecks of very fine silver shimmer, without it being too obvious as it gives a sheen on the lids rather than a sparkle.


Fourth shade: It is a shimmery silver colour with sparkle and tons of shimmer, it doesn't stick to the lid! It has lots of fallout so my least favourite of the palette.


Fifth shade: A matte deep brown shade, could also be used as an eyeliner, for a more natural look, a lovely warm colour.

All in all a lovely little palette with nice shades to create day or night looks.
